Israel Zamir (born Israel Singer) was born on June 28, 1929 in Warsaw, Poland. He was the son of Isaac Bashevis Singer and Rachel Singer, a teacher.
His parents separated when he was five: while Isaac Bashevis Singer emigrated to the United States, his wife, then a convinced communist, with their son Israel went eastward, first to Russia, and then, after many painful adventures, from 1937 in Israel, where Singer's son would change his surname to Zamir.
Israel Zamir attended Oranim Academic College in 1959. He then received his Bachelor of Arts from Tel Aviv University in 1983.
Israel Zamir worked as an editor at Hotam, a weekly magazine. During 1973-1995 he began his career at Al-Hamishmar, a daily newspaper, as a journalist, later becoming an editor.
Besides, he wrote his most known book "Journey to My Father, Isaac Bashevis Singer", published in 1994. In that book he described the first meeting with his father in New York in 1955 - twenty years later after his parents' separation.The man he discovered as they formed a relationship over the next thirty-five years was entirely devoted to his writing, and unpredictable and unfaithful to everyone else.
Despite differences in religious and political convictions, Zamir came to understand and accept his father, and to cherish the relationship they developed. Israel Zami eventually translated most of his father’s works into Hebrew and accompanied him to Stockholm in 1978 when Singer won the Nobel Prize for literature.
Israel Zamir was also an editor at Daf-Yarok, a kibbutz weekly magazine, and since 1989 he was an editor at Kar-Lamoshav, an agricultural magazine.
Additionally, Zamir worked as an instructor of journalism at Tel Aviv University from 1985 to 1995.

Israel Zamir married his wife Aviva, a teacher, on August 17, 1960. They had four children: Meirav, Noam, Ilan, and Yuval.
When Zamir was five years old, his father Isaac Singer immigrated to the United States, leaving his wife and son in Warsaw, promising to send for them but eventually divorcing Zamir’s mother and remarrying. Zamir next saw his father twenty years later, after having emigrated to Israel with his strongly Zionist mother. At age twenty-five, Zamir went to New York to meet his father.
